With sophistication beyond any other anti-spam system we check incoming email for over 10,000 criteria to give the best possible accuracy

Unsurpassed Spam blocking for any email address published on a webpage. Monitored spam-bin minimises risks of losing wanted emails. Don't trust services where you do not know what mails you are losing! Don't trust anti-spam software which has to be downloaded onto your computer.

EMAIL BEFORE SPAM - ANTE-SPAM!

We aim to stop spam without stopping your business. If you don't have the services of an antispam spam blocking system, you are likely to waste hours per day in due course, viewing and deleting spam. The headache you will have, together with the speed at which you have to delete hundreds of emails, will mean that you delete your wanted emails by mistake. We block them before they get to you and we do so in a careful manner unlike any other anti-spam service.
Many anti-spam spam remedy services are crude and are capable of losing valuable business communications. Many people say "I don't need it - I have installed Product X on my computer" . . . but the reality is that if your existing solution is going to be effective for you, you'll have to waste thousands of hours re-inventing the wheel. Is your time you'll waste worth less than £70 per year?

In contrast to one-solution-fits all software you install on your machine or worse, buy from an ISP, we tailor our spam remedy service to the needs of our individual clients and our results benefit from years of research. You do not need to download software on your computer: we block the spam at our server.

ORDERING THE SERVICE

How much? Just £70 per year ($130 or 110EU) per address protected. Discounts for multiple addresses. Pay with Paypal, cheque or bank transfer.We do the work to help you get on with your work.

If you want to buy maintained filter service to run on your version of SpamAssassin, please enquire: guide £4000 to £30,000 depending on the size of your organisation. They can save you this in problems your server will encounter running Bayes and large databases - and is much more accurate!
